In 1945, for the first time in history, women joined the ranks of the Royal Society, the UKs premier scientific academy. Over the following decade, eleven women would break through its barriers to become Fellows of the Royal Society. Few of these women are well known, yet they all made extraordinary contributions to science, helping shape the post-war world.From Dame Honor Fell, whose research laid the foundations for IVF, to Dorothy Hodgkin, who worked out the structure of penicillin, these women battled prejudice and hardship but ultimately made cracks in the glass ceiling of science, paving the way for later generations of women to enjoy careers in areas traditionally dominated by men.Breaking the Glass Ceiling of Science pays tribute to these remarkable women and their achievements and asks why many have slipped from our memories, even though their legacies have endured.

Esta obra objetivou investigar como as narrativas de artistas travestis que participaram do filme-documentário Divinas Divas (2016) refletem memórias de travestilidades sobre o contexto histórico da ditadura civil-militar no Brasil (1964-1985), buscando, tambem, entrever como essas questes podem contribuir para a problematizaço dos regimes de visibilidade, em especial, das travestis na historiografia brasileira. As reflexes do presente livro compreenderam, a partir da narrativa filmica: o projeto moral da ditadura e as violencias empreendidas pelas forças policiais, numa relaço muitas vezes consentida com faces da sociedade civil; o desvelamento das politicas censorias delineadas pela ditadura civil-militar, almejando pontuar seus modos de atuaço e a politica de invisibilizaço por meio da censura; a articulaço problematizada entre arte e travestilidade, evidenciando a potencialidade do teatro em interface com tais experiencias; as tecnologias de genero e os modelos de corpos e feminilidades colocados pelas personagens na pelicula e, por fim, a relaço entre dissidencias sexuais e loucura, tensionando os dispositivos de interdiço postos a partir disso e as sequelas deixadas na vida das personagens que passaram por tal violencia. O documentario, enquanto fonte de analise historica, desvelou com acuidade o vies normativo do fazer historiografico sobre o tema, lançando luz sobre os silencios perpetuados pela historia. Ante essa evidencia, torna-se proficuo pontuar o quanto o cinema, diferente da historia, se preocupou com a tematica, ao trazer representaçes pontuais que versaram, de alguma maneira, sobre sexualidades tidas como dissidentes e o cenario de autoritarismo matizado pela ditadura civil-militar. A narrativa filmica permitiu, por meio de sua linguagem, reinterpretaçes politicas sobre o passado, deslocando os olhares para as fissuras que separam essas narrativas "apocrifas" da historia oficial, apresentando questes tipificadas e no menos importantes, que anunciaram as micropoliticas que tomavam os corpos tidos como subversivos a partir dos marcos normativos de genero e sexualidade, como alvos do poder.
